   Need more info tbh, year, abs?
   All depends on your hubs, they have tapered/non tapered long short and all sorts of things I never remember. Plus if you haappen to be one of the lucky few with abs you need different shafts for that too.
   Unfortunately I don't know when all the changes happened ect.

   2 kinds of driveshafts
   
   the splined bit that goes into the hub can have a tapered seat or a flat seat. someone posted pictures of the differences on here, search about

   Guess the easiet way (unless someone can provide a definate answer) would be to take yours out and bring it with you to the scrappies.

   as taj said.
   
   The nut is on the hub side, you may need to take your wheel off though.

    If you dont have a clue how to do it i suggest not to even attempt................... the year of the car would be good as they changed the shafts on a 2000.

    if its the drivers side a 1.4 shaft won't do it as the shaft on an R is 2 piece with intermediate bearing whereas a 1.4 is a one piece shaft

    probably not, not much vtr models have abs. cant you use a vts/gti shaft instead as they have abs?
